Successful outsourcing - 6 clear benefits of using NerdCloud

Outsourcing is an excellent way to get more done. The promise of outsourcing is to increase productivity and efficiency while saving on time, effort, and money. Who would not want that? The sad fact is that many organizations have bad experiences, the promises of outsourcing have never materialized. 

We believe it’s not outsourcing that is the problem, it’s how to operate it.

Here’s exactly how we can help you to make outsourcing work for your business, broken down into just some of the many benefits of working with us. 

‍

1. Excellent developer availability 

NerdCloud is a multi-supplier platform. When you work with us, you are working with an on-demand software development team that can help you get your project up and running as soon as possible. Our team is highly trained in not only older and more popular programming languages, but newer and more niche ones as well. 

We have more than 50 global tech talent suppliers from all over the world so that we are always able to provide our clients with the right technology expertise whenever they need it. Because we work with so many different suppliers, when you work with us you enjoy the potential talent of thousands of professional, senior developers. We have also made great efforts in contractual risk management with our suppliers, something we can not do with freelancers, which is why we are not using them.

Additionally, outsourcing software development to professionals in a different time zone helps you extend your working day. The concept is simple: your senior managers set a task at the end of their working day, and your (outsourced) developers start work. When you start work on the following day, the project has progressed already. In fact, you could choose to leverage several different time zones at once.

Just imagine what that can do for your project. NerdCloud can supercharge your software development!

2. We make contending with different work cultures simple, smooth, and easy 

Outsourcing can often come with worries about clashing work cultures and the headaches of trying to communicate with a separate entity. 

You don’t have to worry about miscommunication, different work standards, SOPS, or work culture with NerdCloud. We plug into your existing way of working and do things your way, so that you never have to worry about the struggles that you’d have with traditional outsourcing.

When you work with NerdCloud, your interface is a senior technical project manager from Nerdcloud who makes sure the job gets done the way you want it.

3. We communicate costs early on and clearly 

Before we ever start working or even entering into an agreement, you can rest assured that any and all costs will be communicated so that you can decide whether or not to work with us. 

Even after you have made the decision to work with us, you will be able to react to  extra or unforeseen costs before they happen, as you will be able to see the entire development process in near real time.

We are always in communication with you, so you never have to worry about being caught unaware.

4. We control and maintain the highest quality

We only have senior developers here at NerdCloud. They have a minimum of 5 years' experience and must undergo our partners' eight-step recruitment process; that includes technology, quality assurance, information security, and efficiency tests. We also review each developers’ code quality and ensure they know our standards before they can work with customers. 

Additionally, NerdCloud has the highest code quality standards and follows industry best practices guidelines. We perform rigorous functional testing throughout our development process, as well as having our Technical PM conduct unit and automated testing.

5. You always have full transparency on the process and quality of the code

When teams are geographically dispersed, it is more important than ever to have documented processes and predictable workflows. 

Every team is unique, and every project will have its own time, budget, and work product requirements. However, many years of handling outsourced development requests from various internal and external clients have allowed us to create an effective process that can be applied to most situations.

Our teams share information through asynchronous communication as well as primary/master documentation, a changelog, and plenty of other kinds of communication. Our projects are always well-documented and accessible to you, so you will always be able to check in on the process and quality of the code that we create for you. 

6. We work with DevOps/Jira

Many organizations worldwide rely on Jira and DevOps to streamline and manage their business processes. They can be used across a wide range of organizations - and software development teams have a lot to benefit from using both of them. 

NerdClous will integrate into your processes and tools without a hitch. We’ll blend into your workflow effortlessly; you'll hardly notice us except for the fact that things start running smoother and team spirits rise!
